ROBNET network cables
As most Robnet units have 2 or 3 Robnet connectors they can be used
as "jack points" for further expansion of the system. There are no
dedicated "in" or "out" connectors. You may connect the cables to any
available Robnet connector on the specific unit.
The Robnet cables are available in 7 and 15 m length and provided
with 6 pin male connector at one or both ends. The 15 m cable to the
junction unit has connector only at the control unit end.
Optional extension cable (10 m) is available and have a male and a
female connector.
When installing a system, try to minimize total Robnet cable length by
connecting all Robnet units to the nearest available Robnet connector.
Total length of Robnet cable installed in a system should not exceed 50
m (165').

Make sure that all unused Robnet plugs are fitted with the plastic cap
to keep the connector free of dirt and moisture.
All connectors are crimp type, which can be easily dismantled if
required in an installation where you can not drill holes as big as the
connector is.
See table for pin configuration and color code of the network cable. DO
NOT MIX THE PINS AND THE CABLE COLOURS!
